Two loaves sit side by side in the bread aisle. They look basically identical — but one says "artisan," one says "traditional," one is frozen, one is "freshly baked," and the labels mean almost nothing. The prices don't make sense. "Fresh" might be the most meaningless word in the bakery. And what's actually inside that beautifully packaged loaf? Bread is simple — buying it isn't. This season, we're finding out what you're really paying for. On the show: Steve, Fei Fei & Junya

  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is round table.

  • You're listening to round table.

  • I'm Steve Hatherly today with Faye Faye and Junya.

  • Coming up.

  • Two loaves sit side by side in the bread aisle.

  • They look basically identical,

  • but one says artisan, and one says traditional.

  • One is frozen, and one is freshly baked,

  • and the labels to you mean almost nothing.

  • The prices also don't make sense.

  • Fresh might be the most meaningless word

  • in the bakery itself.

  • So, what's actually inside these beautifully packaged loaves?

  • Bread is simple.

  • Buying it is not,

  • and today we'll find out what you're really paying for.

  • Well, it sounds like one of the simplest foods in the world:

  • flour, water, yeast.

  • You mix it all together, you bake it, and there you go.
